This is the WORST spam filtering of any of my email programs.

I am constantly getting junk in my inbox and important emails are sent to spam.

Even my upcoming vacation flight emails from delta airlines and other businesses. This is causing havoc and stress I don't need!

What are my options? Increase spam filtering and send more important emails to junk?

Lessen spam filtering and get more junk in my inbox????

    >Why is Hotmail Spam Filtering So Bad???

    This is a rhetorical question, right? The answer, anyway, is simply "because it is." Spam filtering/blocking is better some days than others at Gmail and Yahoo, but outlook.com is generally the worst.

    then by this definition.... I should be plagued by spam email in both my GMAIL account and YAHOO account. Which i dont...

    your theory has more holes than the swiss cheese i ate for lunch

    When an address receives spam it's because the address is known to spammers. It's been posted on a website and was harvested or a business or other organization sold it or it was in a database that was hacked.

    My outlook.com and Hotmail addresses receive no spam. That's because I haven't used them much, have never posted them on a website or Usenet and they've not been in a database that was hacked. That hacked database aspect is simply luck.

    Spam filtering in my Yahoo and Gmail accounts varies. Some receive a fair amount of spam, some receive almost none.
